So on March 30 2008 I noticed I was having some trouble with my IMC2</span><br
 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">connection, and after some fiddling
and testing and reconnecting,</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I eventually realized that I was
probably banned. </span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I figured it had to be some sort of
mixup, because I</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">was certain I hadn't broken any
rules. I sent Kayle (the new IMC2</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">person that Samson handed control
to) a PM asking what the deal</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">was, and I logged into an alternate
mud to discuss it on IMC2,</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">sure that the misunderstanding could
be resolved.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">It turned out that there was no rule
breaking, no misunderstanding,</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">nothing I was guilty of, other than
being disliked:</span><br>

think</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">there should be specific reasons

<br>
And that's pretty much it. Subsequent PM's only made things clearer to
me<br>
in...uh...sharper language. It appears I'm persona non grata for reasons<br>
of a personal nature, rather than policy reasons, so I have no way of
knowing<br>
how to resolve the problem, really. <br>
<br>
I will continue to try supporting the IMC2 client on the Dead Souls
lib, though<br>
I suspect it may be somewhat more difficult to do now.<br>
